These are the horses you
will meet if you come and watch one of our spectacular show, or maybe
you have already ridden one of them around our arena?

ANZAK

17 Hands Gelding by Welton Casanova. (The Welton Stud
is famous for it’s event horses) Anzak is out of a mare by our leopard
spot stallion Merlin. he as a wonderful temperament, and a long easy,
ground covering stride, and as jousted since 1986.

BANNER

15.1 Bay Gelding , half Irish Draft, and a Grandson of
Merlin, as been around the Tournament since birth, a tireless horse &
amazingly fast on the tilt, Sir Simon Elgin’s favorite mount, and
together they make a perfect partnership.

BLADE

16.2 thoroughbred gelding (who’s registered name
is PERTEMPS) had 5 outings came in last, and so became a very useful jousting
horse, we have found that thoroughbreds either are very good for jousting
or just don’t make-it, especially if they have raced. Brought on
by Sir William Wallace they are now inseparable.

DECASTON

15 Hands Blanket Marked Appaloosa Gelding, extremely good
looking “and knows it” came to the Tournament in the Summer
of 2003, having just done light hacking and was jousting for Sir Thomas
Randolf within a week, and is a bold charger.

ICON

16.1 Belgium Warm Blood, a powerful horse with an amazing
turn of speed, and not the mount for the faint hearted, a loveable old
rouge and a great character, one of the boldest horses in our Tournament,
he thoroughly enjoys the Joust.

LAVITICUS

16 Hands 3/4 bred, Liver Chestnut Gelding, the personal
mount of The Black Knight Sir Guy of Gisbourne, ( woe-betide any other
knight who dares to ride him) a bold and athletic horse, intelligent and
clever beyond his years! he knows every cue in the Tournament , the perfect
jousting machine he does the Tourney without the reigns being touched.
The trust and understanding between horse and rider can only be described
as a love story.

MISPRINT

Dark Bay 16 Hands gelding, Misprint another of our horses
sired by Merlin, ( so named because all his brothers and sisters were
spotted) is the Grandfather of the Tournament born in 1978 and still going
strong, he takes life in his stride, and does not exert himself. he as
paraded through every major city in Britain, including the Lord Mayors
Parade in London, Vienna, Helsinki & St Petersburg.

PENNANT

15 Hands Welsh Cob Bay Gelding , the baby of our troop,
he came to us in the 2003 season as a 5 year old, and from the first day
decided that he would try to throw every rider that we put on him, indeed
he dumped one of our novice riders eight time in one day, and then he
met Sir Richard Earl of Cornwall, who gently took him in hand and taught
him the business.

SMOKEY

15 Hands Chocolate Dun Registered Welsh Cob Gelding, (Reg
Name Abbery Smokey Joe). Joined us in the Summer of 2003 having been backed
and then done nothing, had lead a very quiet life, and basically seen
nothing, so what a shock to find himself infant of an audience of several
thousand, with hundreds of banners waving in the breeze, fan-fares blaring,
the clash of steel, and a mounted knight charging at him along the tilt!
nevertheless within two weeks he was doing the job.
